As a native inhabitant, I experienced unpleasant guest kindness. In the Estonian way, we provide morning porridge to the guests, the guest is not left unserved, and there was nothing to offer for lunch if the desire arose. A rude unsolved case, On behalf of the lady of the manor. I hope that the guests will be offered better service in the future. Greetings Talo Margo 3 months have passed, and the change has worked well. In terms of the wellbeing of the food community, the change has been positive , people travelling in our region can enjoy our beautiful nature and cultural values on a full stomach :) I am the only one who is happy about this :) Welcome to South Esonia

Beckov Castle

The Beckov castle stands on a steep 50 m tall rock in the village Beckov. The dominance of the rock and impression of invincibility it gaves, challenged our ancestors to make use of these assets. The result is a remarkable harmony between the natural setting and architecture.

The castle first mentioned in 1200 was originally owned by the King and later, at the end of the 13th century it fell in hands of Matúš Èák. Its owners alternated - at the end of the 14th century the family of Stibor of Stiborice bought it.

The next owners, the Bánffys who adapted the Gothic castle to the Renaissance residence, improved its fortifications preventing the Turks from conquering it at the end of the 16th century. When Bánffys died out, the castle was owned by several noble families. It fell in decay after fire in 1729.

The history of the castle is the subject of different legends.
